They&#8217;ve got this, this selfishness. He goes back for more and that&#8217;s what you want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Arfield also drew an interesting comparison with a player both he and Tavernier played with at Ibrox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I played here with Alfredo Morelos and he genuinely didn&#8217;t care how bad he was in games. It was his greatest attribute because he just went back for more.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I was a player that might have that wee level of, maybe, insecurity, but the best people haven&#8217;t got it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;They&#8217;ve just got this absolute bulletproof mentality. And Dessers has a bit of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/ce8jvp17vpzo\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Captain James Tavernier is another who has had to endure the grumbling of the Rangers fans at times.
